Robert Also make sure first boot is set to run in runlevel 5 chkconfig --level 5 firstboot on #!/bin/sh # firstboot: Starts the firstboot druid if it hasn't been run before # # chkconfig: 35 95 95 # # description: Firstboot is a druid style program that runs on the first time \ # a machine is booted after install.
